Book Reviews of Can We Live 150 Years?: Your Body Maintenance Handbook
Book Review: Don't Know What Happened
Summary: 5 Stars
When I bought this book probably a year ago there was about 220 reviews, 95% of them were 4 and 5 stars, I don't know how the reviews got all screwed up.
All in all, I'd say this is a great book; it's straightforward and easy to read. There's a lot of information on a lot of different types of diseases and health problems, and how a lot of different foods impact your health. I've read several books on health and fitness(ex. Living Foods for Optimum Health, Stu Mittleman's Slow Burn[Stu is a world-record breaking endurance athlete]) and damn near everything Tombak says coincides with what I've read previously. Some reviews claim he has no scientific backup, but it's kind of on the cover, next to his name, where it says "Ph.D." And in the book he goes into why he chose to study biology, anatomy and chemistry over a traditional medical school.
I'd like to address some of the more idiotic negative reviews I've seen on here, because I think they're a misrepresentation of what you really find in this book. One person says the author recommends using birch twigs to brush your teeth, and he doesn't, he mentions a group of buddhist monks or something somwhere who did use birch twigs, all he does is tell you why they did it and offers a more practical alternative. Another reviewer talks of how "silly" it is that things about your health can be indicated by your eye color(iridology)...if you saw someone with a pale face or a rash on their skin, you'd be quick to assume they were unhealthy in some way, but the idea that health could possibly impact eye color?! Proposterous!!
Anyway, be wary of the 1-star reviews, they all sound similar, one of them even posted a verbatim review of Tombak's other book.
I can't vouch for the effectiveness of EVERY remedy in the book, but I have implemented a few, like nutrition timing and food combining(don't eat your carbs with your proteins). Before I had to stuff myself to feel full, and if I wasn't stuffed I was hungry, and I'd be tired after I ate. Now I rarely get tired after eating, food feels like it digests much faster, and though I don't still feel stuffed an hour later, I'm not hungry just because my stomach's empty; satisfied.
Summary of Can We Live 150 Years?: Your Body Maintenance Handbook
The author applies a no-nonsense approach to dieting, exercising, disease treating, and other aspects of everyday life. Our looks, longevity, as well as our physical and mental conditions result from the way we eat, breathe, and take care of all our physical and psychological needs. The question is not limited to nutrition only, as is the case of dieting programs.Diets Books
